This avalanche was triggered by walking along the top of the slope, it popped out as a slab then gouged down to the ground in the loose facets. I was expecting it to propagate into the main bowl but there was not enough of a connective slab for propagation YET, I would expect that to change with more snow and wind in the forecast. The only part of the bowl to have a slab seemed to be the wind exposed top, but that might just be semantics by tomorrow.
